It has come to light that New York Attorney General Letitia James has threatened the Supreme Court not to intervene in the hush-money case against former President Donald Trump via The Gateway Pundit.
Her warning comes after Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, a Republican, petitioned the Supreme Court for permission to file a complaint against the state of New York which would push back Trump’s September sentencing hearing and lift all his speech restrictions on the case.
Bailey has argued that these restrictions represent an infringement on the right of Missourians to hear from prospective presidential candidates. James, who played an integral role in Trump’s sham conviction over alleged hush money payments made to porn actress Stormy Daniels, has urged the Supreme Court to reject his request.
In a legal filing, James said that a Supreme Court ruling in Trump’s favor would “seriously undermine the integrity of the courts and risks setting a dangerous precedent that encourages a flood of similar, unmeritorious litigation.”
“Allowing Missouri to file this suit for such relief against New York would permit an extraordinary and dangerous end-run around former President Trump’s ongoing state court proceedings and the statutory limitations on this Court’s jurisdiction to review state court decisions,” she wrote.
“The potential sentence and speech restrictions may prove no obstacle to the interests of people who wish to hear from former President Trump,” James continued.
Earlier this month, email leaks revealed that James had coordinated with the Biden administration’s Department of Justice to help plan their lawfare campaign against the former president.
BREAKING: New York is doubling down in its quest to interfere in the 2024 presidential election and jail President Trump.
Today, Letitia James asked the Supreme Court to allow New York to continue with its lawfare.
Deplorable – and illegal.
